§ MR. MURPHYI beg to ask the Chief Secretary to the Lord-Lieutenant of Ireland whether he can state what steps the Estates Commissioners have taken in connection with the reinstatement of the evicted tenants on the Coltsmann Estate, county Kerry, which estate is now before them for sale.
§ MR. ATKINSONApplications from three evicted tenants have been received. In the case of one of them, Daniel Healy, the holding is in the possession of his brother as a judicial tenant. Daniel Healy's application will, however, be considered, should the Commissioners acquire untenanted land in the locality. In the second case, Daniel Casey has been reinstated by the landlord, and the question of a grant to him is under consideration. In the third case, the application of Daniel Lucy is under consideration.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDCan the right hon. Gentleman explain the absence of the Chief Secretary, to whom all these Questions are addressed?
§ MR. ATKINSONHe is unavoidably detained in the country.
§ MR. JOHN REDMONDMotoring at forty miles an hour perhaps.
